Three arrested after man dies in John Hunter Hospital

BY JESSICA ROUSE

Three men have been arrested following the death of a Central Coast man at the John Hunter Hospital last month.

The 21-year-old man was found unconscious on the roadway of Lake Haven Drive near Lyle Street last month with serious head injuries.


He was treated at the scene before being taken to John Hunter Hospital. After discovering the extent of his injuries, the man's family made the tragic decision to switch off his life support and he died.

An investigation into his death commenced which led to detectives to the arrest of a 37-year-old man in Kanwal yesterday morning. He was taken to Wyong Police Station where he was charged with allegedly concealing serious indictable offence of another person.

The two other men aged 28 and 34, were also arrested yesterday and were allegedly charged with his murder and refused bail.

All three will face court today.
